nice article, but your description of Charlie from All Dogs Go To Heaven was a bit off. he actually went back to get revenge on Scarface. rewinding his watch meant that he could never come back. but it was because of his good deed that he was allowed to go back in. sorry to nit pick, but it's one of my favorite movies. thumbs up man.

"I was so gay, but I couldn't tell anybody..." -Huckleberry Hound, The Simpsons: Behind the Laughter. I actually learned something from this article. I always thought Deputy Dawg was just Huckleberry Hound with a Sheriff's hat on-I stand corrected.
